Music Suggestions 2 - driving fast in my car

I saw a girl on Tik Tok do the math that the average set will have to be 25 minutes to accommodate that many bands in twelve hours across three stages. Which is perfect for the bands at the way bottom of the poster who only have 15 minutes worth of decent music as is.

Real talk though - MCR is playing Vegas literally two weeks prior so they must have been given metric ass loads of cash to make this festival appearance worth it. My guess is both them and Paramore will play at the same time and that’s a massive bummer for anyone attending.

This song turns 30 this year.

RIP to Meat Loaf, a true legend and a one of a kind performer. I’ve always remembered this Deadspin article I read about him over a decade ago…

Meat Loaf Was My Softball Coach

4th episode of Peacemaker had this tune in it. Even as a young kid, it always made me sad. I didn’t get it, but the tune and everything just hit me. Can still barely listen to it without getting weirdly reflective. Hahahaha. Good song from a fuckin band called fucking Faster Pussycat, though. What a name.

I once got drunk with Greg Steele after a 'Cats show in Roseville, Michigan in the parking lot of a now defunct concert venue. (The Ritz)

We hit up a National Coney Island after, where he continued to pound pitchers of light beer. I’m sure there were drugs involved on his end as well. He then felt sick, ran to the bathroom, and passed out. I couldn’t get him to wake up, and was ready to go. I let the management know, and bounced. From what I know, the rest of the band left for Chicago that night, and he had to fly in the next day for their show.

ā€œGet off my back you monkey
Ya got my nerves jumping like a junkie today
Poison ivy ya come creepin’ up right behind me
You make me itch baby you’re so unkind
Poison ivy you’re like poison ivy
You make me itch and I’m out of calamineā€

I made a disturbing realization last night/this morning. I like Peaches by Justin Beiber.

I like bass and drum driven songs :white_check_mark:
I like good choruses and hooks :white_check_mark:
And he references going ā€œup to the Northā€ with his wife, which is about the town that the golf courses I work at are in (He’s played on our courses a few times now)

Even though some of the lyrics are cringey, I’ve been hook, line, and sinker’ed.

(And ever since COVID hit in 2020, I’ve listened to WAY less radio and Sirius. So that’s how I hadn’t heard it until recently)

Did you know the lead singer’s name is Taime Downe?

Anyway’s here’s Babylon off their first album.

It’s dumb, but I actually did know that.

My step dad was 20 when I was like 3. All we did was listen to hair metal and grunge and play NES.

My hot take is that I prefer the Radiohead cover

Not enough focus on the Peter Hook bass line for my taste

The theme on the TouchTunes tonight is 80s ballads.

Just dropped Foreigner I Want to Know What Love Is and no one batted an eye.

Need to up my game.

Could be expected when the guy next to me is drinking a Truly with a straw. Psycho.

We’ll probably watch the El Deafo series on Apple TV just for the Waxahatchee soundtrack. And because it was a favorite book in this house a few years ago.
